历史唯物主义与历史中的欧几里德几何学——鲍德里亚《生产之镜》的批判性解读

Historical Materialism and Euclidean Geometry in History: A Critical Reading of Baudrillard's The Mirror of Production

青年鲍德里亚在《生产之镜》一书中,批评马克思将历史唯物主义变成了一种普适性的哲学,并指认作为历史唯物主义真正理论基础的资本主义现实经济结构已经发生了根本性的改变,由此断言历史唯物主义已根本过时。作者正面应答了鲍德里亚的种种批评和挑战,通过科学说明历史唯物主义的本质特征和当代性,进而捍卫了马克思的历史科学方法论。

In his book The Mirror of Production youth Baudrillard has criticized that Marx has transformed historical materialism into a universal philosophy. He points out that the capitalist actual economic structure, which functions as the authentic theoretical basis of historical materialism, has changed radically and therefore asserts that historical materialism is already outdated. This paper makes a frontal response to various criticisms and challenges from Baudrillard and defends the methodology of Marxian historical science through a scientific clarification of the essential and the contemporary characteristics of historical materialism.
